[C38] Cat 38 dues

[Joseph Launie]

Steve,
     Do not cut the dues. The surplus is relatively small for an 
organization like ours. I would suggest the spending of a prudent amount 
of money on promotion of the fleet. We could make a list of major boat 
shows and get volunteers in the area to man a booth. (Catalina formerly 
had one that provided us space free for the Anapolis show I did). We 
could make up a poster and flyers. The more members we get - the more 
our data base of experiences. There were 366 38's built so our market 
penetration is still low. Joe Launie/Macavity
